- 2Aaron Rodgers to move to Pittsburgh Steelers“So it sounds like Aaron Rogers going back there is a strong possibility.”
- 3Daniel Jones to move to Indianapolis Colts“The Colts believe they'll have Daniel Jones back whether it's on a long term deal or whether they use a transition tag or a franchise tag to hold him in place... I would anticipate the Colts... would use one of the tags to hold him in place”
